Welcome to the Back to School Blast!

Getting your family prepared to head back to school, can be difficult especially after a long, fun-filled summer. Here are a few of our favorite Back to School Tips to help you along the way.

1. Back-to-School Supplies Checklist - Backpack? Check. Pencils? Check. Safety scissors? Not Yet. Use the same checklist each time you head out to grab supplies, to keep track of what you have already purchased and the things you still need to. These are also handy if you have more than one child. Simply print 2, 3, 4 list and add their name to the top.

My Back to School Tips:
Schools here give us a list of items to purchase and it's specific.
Label their stuff.
Lay clothes out the night before.
Prepare snack in advance and label them for easy grab and go.
My son has allergies so he has a tissue supply with him.

Wow! I would love to win this then I could get all my babies school supplies and new school clothes and shoes. It seems like they grow inches every summer and outgrow everything they have to wear. Must be the pretty sunshiny days and abundant rain.

My best back to school advice would be to start waking the kids up early 2 weeks before school starts. After staying up late and sleeping in it's good to get back into the early morning routine a few weeks before school starts.

Make sure there is no problems with the kids being late for school in September. Make sure they are on school time for a full week before their first day. That means alarms are set, and everybody is up and around in the morning.

I always try to buy as many basic school supplies that I know my kids will be needing (pencils, crayons, notebooks, etc) in bulk while they are on sale. I also try to get my boys excited about going back to school by watching some fun school themed movies or reading back to school themed books with them starting a couple weeks before school starts- theyre both still pretty young and this helps relieve some of the "being away from mom and home" stress :)crystalmethod54751@gmail.com

Make out a list of what school supplies are needed then go shopping without the kids. You are less likely to pick up things that are "But Mom, I gotta have" stuff! Thanks.sweepster49 at comcast dot net
